Kim Chiu said about working again with Gerald, "It’s seven years ago nang huli kaming magkasama sa TV and then it feels good to have this kind of project with this kind of theme para ipakita sa mga tao. So, excited kami to inspire a lot of people na gawin din ito. It’s not just a love story, parang sports and lifestyle na rin siya.”

Aside from Gerald and Kim, Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin also stars Coleen Garcia and Jake Cuenca. Coleen was cast as Isabel, an executive who is jealous of Kim's character. Jake was cast as Carlos, the executive who chose Kim's character to be the endorser of the energy drink that he is managing.

Kim was amazed by the number of Kimerald fans who have remained loyal through the years, “Hindi ako makapaniwala na marami pa rin sila. Sobrang nagpapasalamat lang kami sa suporta nila hanggang ngayon.”
